You know when you read posts about people having problems with writing their stories, some taking even years to update? I am definitely one of those people. Based on your experience, is there any hope for me to ever get them done? And more importantly, should I just push them through nad get done with them, or procrastinate forever, trying to satisfy myself with the quality of the stories first, possibly never releasing anything? Even if they might be decent?

G'day all.
You know those days when you finally broke out of your Writer's block and you spent a weeks worth of effort to squeeze every bit of creative juices you managed to pull off from said writer's block; only to accidentally delete all your efforts when your mouse conveniently falls on the floor and conveniently click the delete button as it fell? Welp, here we are now and I am mad as Hell! I almost finished the damn chapter and this happens.

I know I promised myself not to reveal anything until it's done, but due to writer's block, perfectionism, and procrastination, I'm having trouble finishing a certain story that needs to get done before any unexpected circumstances and complications. While I'm not going to spoil what I'm working on until it's absolutely done, I need some advice on this predicament that I'm having in order to continue. Also, I'm still afraid of what might happen last time I wrote my stories, so if you want me to

They are changing a bit to accommodate some fees into the actual price, so the prices are not actually changing much.

Greetings one and all.

Working on some new pony projects, and it is exciting to see how this will turn out. There is some royalty in the mix again, and that is always fun.

Other than that I am still recovering from an operation, which leaves me a bit drained. Shouldn't be too long before I am back in shape however~.

hope you all have a wonderfully Filthy Friday~.

Salutations of the blazing sun and stars to all living in the landscapes of pony.

Today we have a new story to post, as promised, the sun will rise, leading to quite a hot and sultry tale.

A ruler cementing their reign to their subjects in manners most malevolent.

I took part of a nightmare night artpack for the spooky season, check it out~.

Perhaps it is for the best to linger in the chiaroscuro, the twilight of what is visible and not, what is real and imaginary. To not be seen, but to be able to see what you wanted as real, enough. Perhaps saying so is giving up, to not fall into complete safety, to not stride into the light. But in light or darkness, one is blind. Vision is bred from shadows.

Happy nightmare night~.

Shadows grow, reaching past their limits, stretching towards the horizon. They all harken back to the vanishing point, a destination as distant as it is fictive, yet we rely on it every moment of observing the world. Every step, towards an abyss without end, beginning, nor reality.
Perhaps it is so, because for there to be existence, we require contrast to make it out.
Else, we would stare at but a blank canvas, lacking the marvel chiaroscuro grants us.

Happy nightmare night~.

There's a long tradition of quips along the lines of
"Some people don't want to write, but want to have written, and to call themselves 'writers.'"

I'm sure you've been there, too: You're writing something, and you keep spending time on it, and every time you stop and check your wordcount, it hasn't changed much. Or, you spend most of your time working on the story by not working on it, instead sitting there and brainstorming and/or cursing various aspects of the story and/or yourself for just not getting it bloody written.
